Cheat Codes for a Pampered Kid

Posted by: Madhava Prakash at Indian Bloggies

As a kid I was very bad with numbers, rather I am no good even now. Just to make sure I clear the subjects involving numbers, my parents had taught me a few amazing improvisations. I still keep wondering how these things work so perfectly.

Cheat Code 4: Multiply by ‘9’

This one is simple and cool. To multiply any number between 1 and 9 by 9. Hold both the hands in front of your face, - fold the finger corresponding to number you are multiplying. ( For eg 4*9, fold the forth finger). Count the number of fingers before the folded finger (in this example 3) then count the fingers after the folder finger (in this example 6), answer is 36.

Cheat Code 3: Multiply by ‘11’

We all know to multiply any number with 10 – add ‘0’ to end of the number. There is an equally easy trick to multiply any two digit number with 11.

Take any two digit number, imagine a space between them, lets take an example 72.
7_2

Now add the two numbers together in that space

7(7+2)2 = 792 is the answer.

If the number in the middle results in a two digit number, just insert the second number in the sopace and add 1 to the first.
Example 74
7_4

7(7+4)4

(7+1)14 = 814
It works always

Cheat Code 2: Divide by ‘5’

If you want to divide any number by 5, just add the same number to itself and put a ‘dot’ before the last digit.
For example if you need to divide 12 by 5...12+12 = 24 and putting a dot befor last digit makes it 2.4

Cheat Code 1: Square of a number

If you need to square a 2 digit number ending in 5, you can do so very easily with this trick. Mulitply the first digit by itself + 1, and put 25 on the end. That is all!(25)2 = (2x(2+1)) & 25

2 x 3 = 6

625

This is all I remember. If you find it useful please leave me a small comment. It makes me feel good. Come on I am not the only dumb kid with numbers :).
